How to point out the supposed hate on the right:

Apparently, you do this by having a left-wing newspaper columnist write the most hate-filled screed that I have seen in some time. This little gem by San Fran Chron writer, Mark Morford, entitled How to hate Barack Obama: Right now, deep in the GOP dungeons, they're planning their racist, disgraceful assault. Whatever will it be?

And that's just the title to the article! Read on, and you will find that the writer has pulled out every little catch phrase and buzz word in a leftist's bag of tricks:

People on the right are racist

Fox News is right-wing

People on the right shop at Wal-Mart

People on the right live in trailer parks

People on the right are paranoids who will stock up their bunker with Ding-Dongs and Coors

People on the right are troglodytes

People on the right are afraid of having a black president (then why did they try to recruit Colin Powell and Condoleeza Rice?)

People on the right are a bunch of "angry white fat men"

People on the right have gun racks in their pickup trucks (Hey, I don't have a problem with that, but the writer uses it as an epithet.)

Yet another Republican candidate for president is stupid ("McCain himself ain't exactly the world's sharpest tack")

The views on immigration of people on the right are "hateful and isolationist"

Bush stole both elections

Now, I realize that some of my readers may even agree with some Mr. Morford's sentiments; to tell you the truth, maybe even I do - McCain doesn't strike me as being the sharpest tack either. My motivation for writing this post was simply to showcase the outlandishly huge number of left-wing cliches about people on the right that was somehow shoved into a single newspaper column. Mr. Morford, it seems like you have been wanting to get all of that off your chest for quite some time. I hope it was therapeutic for you, because it seems as if the next stage was for you to go out and start killing folks. I trust that this exercise in stream-of-consciousness helped to assuage your seething rage.

Donalbain, pointing out that people who support mass collectivization and government control are "fascists" is a lot different than saying right wingers are racists. The first is a definition, the second is not--except to people so far on the left they don't see their anti-right bias the same way they see racism.

Whew. That was a rant worthy of the Unibomber. What was as you said, impressive the sheer volume of hate-filled abuse stuffed into one article. This guy should write a book. He could make a fortune in underground sales to Democrats. Anger control.
